Did Aliens Build Puma Punku?

PUMA PUNKU
By Maleeka Spriggs

Puma Punku is a set of ruins in Bolivia, not well known outside of archaeologist and UFOlogist circles. Why have these stones attracted two seemingly opposite groups?

The ruins are what is left of the Pumapunku pyramid, a temple that stood at least 56 feet tall. It is located in Tiahuanaco, near Lake Titicaca, a region associated with pre-Incan culture. Archaeologists believe the temple may have been built for worshipping the creation god Viracocha, but have no definitive evidence either way.

But the real mystery lies in how Puma Punku was built. Many of the blocks weighed 200 tons, with one even weighing in at 450 tons! How were these blocks brought to a plateau 13,000 feet high? While Stonehenge’s method is often explained as stones being rolled on tree trunks, the tribe would have had no access to trees on the barren plateau. The wheel had supposedly not been invented by that point, leaving archaeologists without an explanation.

Once the stones were brought to the site, they were cut so precisely that they could be fit together like puzzle pieces.

Some of these stones have perfectly straight grooves in them that are only 1 cm deep. Note the sets of equi-distant holes that were drilled in the picture below. If the stones are made of the hardest granite there is, how could the tribe have possible put these markings into the stones? What tools did they have available to them, and where did they come from?

UFO and alien experts believe the people who built these stones had contact with extraterrestrial beings. This is often referred to as the “ancient astronaut theory”. These beings would have either completely built the temple themselves, or assisted the humans in building it by providing instruction and advanced tools.

Scientists call these theories bunk, but cannot provide any better explanation for how primitive humans fit 200-ton stones together or planned the intricate process without the ability to read or write.

i have seen this on the history channel. i have no clue how it was built. I have had one personal experiance with a U.F.O. when i was young and that got me interested in watching shows on the subjects we talk about. when i heard about this, or saw it on history, i was hooked and positive that something "odd" is out there. one word, spectacular!

While it is an interesting article, it does not help that it was written by the Weekly World News.

I am a little torn on this subject... I mean, id like to believe 100% that extraterrestrials helped humans build these in ancient times, but the truth is ancient man was incredibly industrious. If they believed building a construction such as this would please their Gods then they would have found a way. But, i suppose we may never know. At least, not for the moment.

Their slogan is, 'The World's Only Reliable News.' Don't you believe them?

I do believe we were visited by ancient astronauts. I also believe we were much more advanced and communicated with the extraterrestrials. Did the extraterrestrials actually build the monuments, or were the monuments built with the secrets around them waiting to be discovered? I cannot answer that question, but there are some theories that the ancients knew how to levitate mass objects. I will keep an open mind, and will weigh all options to these theories.

One post on the article on the WWN site had an interesting speculation:

"These structures are all built of a lost form of concrete. The reason that the grooves are so perfect is that they are cast. The ancients were much smarter then we give them credit for."

Maybe? Would explain how they got such heavy structures in a place.

thats the show i said i saw. it was a great program, deffinately makes you ponder.

Thats some whacked out stuff there. The thing I don't understand is, if this is so damn impossible for them to have built, why aren't there more scientists talking about it?
